A better-than-ever lineup of LPC microcontrollers is coming soon!

With more than 1 billion units shipped — and 140,000 developers on the LPC1768 mbed™-enabled platform — and growing — we know LPC remains popular among consumer and industrial customers like yourself. Thank you for helping make LPC one of the most successful MCU portfolios in the industry.

What's next?

We're investing in the portfolio, which is why we've extended the longevity on the LPC1700 and LPC2000 microcontrollers (MCU).

We've got a robust roadmap of new LPC MCUs in store for 2017, based on the following two main MCU series:

LPC800: An entry-level, 8-bit alternative MCU series at the right price

LPC54000: A mainstream MCU series for the broad market

These two series provide the ideal platform to grow the portfolio with a strong focus to address your design challenges with each new NPI, and we are excited to share an exclusive first look with you here.

Unifying NXP's Cortex®-M based MCU portfolio, we have designed new tools and software to help you get to market faster: NXP's MCUXpresso is a combined software suite ranging from a professional IDE, robust configuration tools, and a revamped software development kit (SDK). This powerhouse portfolio of microcontrollers (LPC and Kinetis) will be supported by this same toolchain as we go forward, enabling you to move within the family more easily.
